"Alright, it's getting late. By the way, Zero, didn't you say you had a way to get through?"
Remembering the important matter at hand, and looking at the area of quicksand that had been filled in, Bi Hui asked Ling.
"That's right, let's mark each area first."
"good."
Emperor Daoguang and the others first looked at Bi Hui, seemingly seeking his opinion. Seeing him nod, they all went to carry out their orders.
Bihun pulled Ling over and said softly:
What do you think?
"Um?"
Zero expressed confusion, not understanding Bi Hui's meaning.
Bi Hui glanced at Lin Sheng, who was marked with a number, and said:
"Regarding the Lin Sheng incident, do you think what he said is true or false?"
"Is it true? That Mingdaozi, didn't you, Sect Master, say he betrayed the sect long ago?"
Bi Hui shook his head, his expression somewhat serious, and said:
"To tell you the truth, our Daoguang Sect really doesn't have a person named Mingdaozi..."
"What?"
"Shh—keep your voice down. I said he betrayed the sect to get Lin Sheng to put this matter aside for now. This matter is very complicated..."
"How so?"
"As you heard, Lin Sheng was telling the truth. That is to say, Ming Daozi came under the guise of the Daoguang Sect, and his purpose, on the surface, seems to be to get Lin Sheng to take revenge on me. But I think things are far more complicated than that."
"So... you want to appease Lin Sheng first, and then see if that person will slip up on their own?"
Bi Hui nodded, and said with some worry:
"Pretty much. The problem now is that we're still in the mortal realm. Since they've come for the Daoguang Sect, something's probably going to happen in the upper realm. I don't know if you can handle it, brother..."
Zero patted him on the shoulder and comforted him:
"Don't overthink it, you have to believe in your older brother's abilities."
"Um"
...
"metropolitan."
A disciple came to report.
"The markings are all done."
"good."
Bi Hui and Ling exchanged another glance. Ling nodded reassuringly at him and headed straight for the marker.
Bi Hui didn't ask Ling what the solution was, because he saw it next—
Zero stood in the center of the marker, his right hand slightly raised, intently staring at the ground beneath his feet.
Bi Huizhen wondered what Ling was doing, but what happened next shocked him deeply.
The once calm ground was now gradually covered by a layer of yellowish-brown, smoke-like gas, all of which were heading in one direction: zero.
Centered on Zero, earth elements continuously flowed towards him from all sides, like a fan, with clumps of energy constantly surging from the ground and finally reaching Zero's body.
Zero seemed to have merged into it, making him indistinct.
This action lasted for quite a while, and Zero maintained the raised right hand position, as if it made it easier to absorb spiritual energy.
After some time, it became clear that the rate of zero absorption had slowed down. At the same time, a thick, full, yellowish-brown cloud of energy began to appear on his left hand.
Zero reached out his left hand towards the area of quicksand on the ground...
A miraculous scene unfolded—
As the Zero Gesture was activated, blocks of earth began to be built up along the edges of the quicksand areas, gradually rising until they eventually formed a large rectangular block.
"I never imagined that Brother Ling possessed such abilities; he's truly been hiding his true strength..."
Bi Hui, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but praise it, saying it was both a pleasant surprise and an unexpected delight.
Clearly, he didn't recognize that it was an earth elementalist, and that Zero was also a spiritist who practiced elemental magic.
He simply assumed this was a skill unique to the human world.
After a while, once all the marked areas were covered by such huge clods of earth, Zero walked up to Bi Hui and looked at him with some unease in his bright eyes.
However, Zero still said seriously:
"This quicksand must have some kind of gravitational pull. The reason you couldn't fly over it back then was because this gravity was pulling you towards the ground."
"Now, I've built a completely enclosed earthen wall and bridge, completely isolating it from the quicksand area. There's no air inside, so the quicksand won't move. Theoretically, there shouldn't be any problem."
"Alright, then we'll be going."
Bi Hui did not hesitate and was about to leave immediately.
"etc……"
Zero called out to Bi Hui, who was about to step onto the platform.
Bi Hui turned his head.
"What's wrong, young brother Ling? Is there anything else?"
Zero scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed, and said:
"Um... this is my first time trying this too, so it might not work. You guys should give it a try first."
It would be terrible if something went wrong along the way.
Bi Hui smiled.
"It's okay, I believe you."
With a casual wave of his hand, Bi Hui was the first to take the lead.
One step, two steps, three steps.
Stable as a mountain, the journey was uneventful.
Bi Hui successfully passed the first clod of earth.
He turned around, looked at the Daoguang Sect members, and said happily;
"This method works, everyone come up quickly."
Having witnessed the effect of the clod of earth, everyone stopped delaying and followed Bi Hui one after another.
"call……"
Seeing that there were no problems, Zero breathed a sigh of relief.
Watching the crowd gradually walk further and further away, Zero also decided to turn around and leave.
Just then, the ground beneath their feet suddenly shook.
Ling looked down instinctively and saw that the surrounding sand began to flow, seemingly with a pattern, gradually forming a sand vortex.
